I woke up the next day feeling completely humiliated, but better. The painful boils had disappeared and the only thing injured was my pride. As soon as I was dismissed from the Hospital wing, I practically ran all the way to the Head's room, said the password, and locked myself in my room. And then the tears came. I was already so stressed out with school, Voldemort and now, James. The pressure was too much to handle.

I knew that attending my morning classes was definitely not an option so I decided to stay holed up in my room and snack on candy from Honeydukes. I know how utterly, pathetic that sounds, but I could not bring myself to do anything else. By the time lunch rolled around, my candy stash had disappeared and I was starving.

Unable to ignore my growling stomach any longer, I get up and walk out of the Head's room. I knew that the corridors would be pretty much deserted as everyone was at lunch. I sneak down the hallway and turn left. After a couple more turns I hear voices. I quickly press myself against the wall and listen.

"Why did you do that? You know she doesn't like when you publicly express your love for her."

"I know, Moony. I just thought that maybe she changed."

I knew that they were taking about me. I have the worst luck. Now, James is blocking my only way to the kitchen! I either have to starve myself or I have to endure some embarrassment.

"If you ask me, Lily yelling at you does not signify a change of her feelings towards you." Sirius says.

James groans. "Shut up, Siripoo!"

Remus laughs. "Nice nickname."

"Like yours is any better, Jamsiepoo!" Sirius replies.

"Come on guys. Let's go." Remus says.

I hear footsteps and realize that the Mauraders were coming! I learn back against the wall, trying to figure out where to hide, when suddenly the walls swings back to reveal a secret passage way and I fall not so gracefully, on my butt. The good news was I wouldn't have to see James, but the bad news is that I'm going to have a really sore bottom for a couple of days. I quickly get up and close the secret door. I wait in complete darkness and hear the Maurader's footsteps as they walk by. Once I'm positive that the coast is clear, I step out into the hallway again and continue on my journey to the kitchens.

I walk up to the tapestry in front of the kitchens and tickle the pear. I learned that this was the way to access the entrance to the kitchens in my fourth year at Hogwarts. The tapestry swings open to let me into the kitchens. As soon as the tapestry returns to its original spot on the wall, a bunch of house elves walk over to me.

"What would you like miss?" says a friendly house elf named Dot.

"Um…can I have a little bit of the left overs from lunch, please?" I ask politely

Dot nods. The remaining house elves walk over to the counter and start preparing my meal. I sit down at a table and watch the house elves do their job. In a couple of minutes, the house elves walk over to me with a plate full of food. I smile gratefully and start eating. I shovel food into my mouth; acting as if I hadn't seen food in days. I finish the whole meal and thank the house elves. I was beginning to feel a little bit better and with much needed luck I would return to school tomorrow.

Apparently, I'm not very lucky at all because as soon as I walk out, I come face to face with my friend, Marlene. And a very angry Marlene at that.

"LILY! What were you thinking? You skipped all meals and your morning classes and didn't even tell me why!" Marlene yelled, glaring at me.

"Er…." I mumble.

Marlene pulls me into a tight hug.

"I missed you so much! What happened?" Marlene asks.

"I….." I try to explain myself.

"Never mind that! I'm going to be late to the Quidditch game! But, do tell me later, Lily." Marlene say quickly.

I forgot about the dreaded Quidditch game. I guess I'll be facing James way earlier than I thought I would be. Marlene drags me down the hall and stops at the entrance of the Head's room.

"Go change." Marlene says looking at my pajamas with disapproval.

I sigh, enter the password, and go up to my room. I quickly change into more appropriate clothing and put on my Gryffindor scarf. I was ready. I walk out and watch as Marlene nods her approval. Marlene drags me out to the Quidditch pitch and leaves me to go join the rest of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. I glance around at the stands looking for someone to sit with. Alice was sitting with Frank; no surprise there. I look around for Emma. She wasn't there. I frown and look over at Remus and Peter. I guess I would have to sit with them. I slowly walk over to them.

"Hello, Lily!" Remus says acknowledging me as I sit down.

"Er…hello." I reply nervously.

"HELLO EVERYONE! WELCOME TO THE FIRST QUIDDITCH GAME OF THE SEASON. TODAY WE HAVE RAVENCLAW VERSUS GRYFFINDOR! CAPTAINS, PLEASE SHAKE HANDS." Yells our commentator, Samuel Brown.

I watch as James and the Ravenclaw captain walk up to each other and shake hands.

"AND THE QUAFFLE IS OUT! GRYFFINDOR CHASER, ELIZABETH WHITE, CATCHES THE QUAFFLE AND PASSES IT TO JAMES POTTER WHO SCORES! 10 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!"

I cheer politely with the rest of the Gryffindors and watched as James did a flip on his broom in celebration.

"JACKSON YOUNG IS IN POSSESION OF THE QUAFFLE AND PASSES IT TO ALLISSA JENKINS WHO ATTEMPST TO SCORE, BUT IS BLOCKED BY GRYFFINDOR KEEPER, FAITH ROBBINSON. " Samuel screams.

There are many cheers from the Gryffindors.

"RAVENCLAW SEEKER, DAVID JOHSON, AND GRYFFINDOR SEEKER, MARK SAWYER, ARE BOTH DIVING FOR SOMETHING! IT'S PROBABLY THE SNITCH! THIS IS GOING TO BE CLOSE; THEY'RE BOTH NECK IN NECK. OUCH! NICLEY AIMED BLUDGER FROM SIRIUS BLACK HITS JOHNSON AND HE FALLS BEHIND. WOW! SAWYER CAUGHT THE SNITCH!" Samuel yells as roars erupt from all the Gryffindors.

I cheer as Gryffindor celebrates their quick win.

As I start standing up, Remus whispers, "Lily, you should really give James a chance."

Before I can reply, I lose Remus in the crowd. I sigh and maneuver my way back to the castle.

Marlene grabs my arm. "Meet me in my room in five minutes. We need to talk."

I sigh yet again. This was probably not a good thing.
